Thread: General approach to powder selection for a new load

my .270 has never been a fussy tart to feed and will put any and all loads into playing card sized combined group at a hundy........whoopdeedo says you...well for bush stalking it never mattered what load went in,only in these later years have I dabbled to try to get better groups (last 2 shots fired to check zero were 3/4" apart) 2213sc or its hodgdon equivalent has always worked well for me. try speer projectiles if rifle a tad fussy,they seem to be a bit softer and group really well for me.
unless you are shooting at 300 plus consistantly which really calls for a rangefinder you wont need super hot loads,your rifle,shoulder and ears will prefer a slightly more mld one too.
